I finished parts one and two of The Naked and the Dead (which means over 400 pages!) and then returned it today. Some day I'll take it out again and read parts three and four!
In an effort to catch up on my reading goals, I took out three books today. I don't know if I can finish them all by the return date, but I'm going to try! I chose some that I thought would be pretty quick, but enjoyable. Here they are:
1. Isaac's Storm by Erik Larson. I've read two of his other books and I LOVED them. I don't think this one has a crime story interwoven into the historical parts, but I'm sure it's good anyways.
2. Between Sisters by Kristin Hannah. This one was recommended by Grama. Hopefully I enjoy it and devour it as quickly as she did!
3. The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. I saw the movie and really enjoyed it, but was disappointed that the sequels probably wont be made into movies any time soon. I know a lot of the subject matter is controversial, but it's also extremely creative and interesting. I'll probably read this one last so I can follow up with the sequels.
And yay, when I was leaving the library, I checked the "free books" bin and found Hold the Dream by Barbara Taylor Bradford. It's the sequel to A Woman of Substance, which I bought awhile back at the thrift store after thinking it looked good and then finding out it's one of Grama's faves. I haven't read the first one yet, but maybe I'll get through the two this summer.

I loved "A Woman of Substance", too. I have an old beat up copy in my bedroom bookshelf. I didn't know there was a sequel. Let us know how it is.
